Of course I always remain a kind of ‘petrolhead’ and active in photographing cars and motorcycles.
Car photography is so much more than just cars.
For me it is mainly about people, the experience of the individual.
About design, innovations in utensils, the ability to dream, progress and the enjoyment of speed.
The world of mobility is a people business. Portraying the CEOs of the major car brands Renault, Saab, BMW is a challenge
For Carros magazine, a high-quality car magazine with editor-in-chief Carlo Brantsen and editorial ‘driving force’ automotive journalist David Bakels.
I was a permanent image maker for Carros magazine from the very beginning in 1996, for 15 years.
For the famous german brand ‘Auto Motor und Sport’ magazine, under Dutch license. (photo editor and photographer)
In this role I photographed for the most beautiful car manufacturers from Germany, Italy and yes, the USA.(Cadillac, Corvette)

Inspiration for art and luxury lifestyle comes from mothers side…

However, that will also require a passionate photographer to take special photos.
We are open for business and firmly believe in telling visual stories about real people and machines.
